Chapter 143



【Father-in-law Chapter 19】Grandpa only wants you

Shen Zhen is handsome, although he is over thirty, but he doesn’t look like that at all. Sitting next to Chu Jiao, they are a perfect match. If he wasn’t still wearing court clothes, Chu Dahai would have thought he was his brother-in-law!

"Shen, Master Shen?" Chu Dahai stammered, stood up and bowed, "I am Chu Dahai, meet you, Master!"

"We are all family," Shen Zhen said politely, but his hands, covered by the wide sleeves of his robe, held Chu Jiao's soft pancreas and pinched her finger bones to play with them carefully, "No need to be polite."

Chu Jiao wanted to pull her hand away, but the man held it too tightly. She glared at him sideways, wanting to warn him not to be too blatant, but what she got in return was Shen Zhen's raised eyebrow smile.

What are you throwing around!

Chu Jiao rolled her eyes unladylike and ignored him.

She had a glimpse of this man's true nature, and he was just being rude with just five words.

"Sir Shen, what I just said is true..." Chu Dahai was a little embarrassed. Anyone who talks about someone behind their back would feel awkward if the person concerned heard it, not to mention that he needed help.

"No problem," Shen Zhen smiled gently, "Since my nephew is Jiao'er's brother, I am willing to help if I can."

Shen Zhen had been in the officialdom for more than a decade, and he was already adept at saying what to what person.

What's more, the appearance of Chu Dahai gave him a breakthrough in his plan, which he was still worrying about where to start.

"My nephew is a handsome man," Shen Zhen stroked Chu Jiao's hand and asked playfully, "Where do you want to work?"

Chu Jiao always felt that Shen Zhen had bad intentions, but she didn't like Chu Dahai in the first place, and her mission required it, so she didn't interrupt Shen Zhen's questioning.

Chu Dahai was very happy with Shen Zhen's friendly attitude, and didn't think there was any trap. He said excitedly, "I only want to be loyal to the country and serve the emperor, no matter what the official position is!!"

"Okay! Shen admires young talents like you!"

Chu Jiao looked at Chu Dahai being fooled by Shen Zhen's few words, and sympathy appeared in her eyes.

This silly child, I guess he was sold out by Shen Zhen and still counted money for him.

Finally, Chu Dahai left with a smile on his face.

Shen Zhen promised him a post of an eighth-rank official in Jing County, and told him to take up the post in a few days.

With no one else in the front hall, Chu Jiao finally pulled back her hand.

"Lord Shen is so calculating," she said coldly, "Since you have given my brother the official position as promised, our deal is over."

Chu Jiao stood up and prepared to leave.

Shen Zhen stood up and held Chu Jiao's wrist.

"The previous deal is over, but..."

He said sorry to Chu Dahai, who was kept in the dark, in his heart, and faced the little girl in front of him who was so cowardly, he was hesitant to speak.

This time, the conspiracy involved so many things that even he was not immune.

Although everything was under control, he didn't know whether the final result would be as expected.

That's why he didn't want to involve the girl.

But this is impossible.

Chu Jiao is now married to the Shen family, and the rise and fall of the Shen family is related to her.

He was afraid of hurting her, and he was also afraid that she would hate him.

Shen Zhen had never thought before that one day he would be troubled by a woman. However, this is the fact, he failed, and failed because of his "daughter-in-law".

Meeting Chu Dahai made him have another plan.

Although it may be a bit hard at the beginning, it can also completely separate Chu Jiao from the Shen family.

Of course.

This plan can also change his relationship with the girl.

This is what he wants to achieve more.

Chu Jiao didn't know the man's deep plans and foresight. She could guess that Shen Zhen must have a reason for this, but Shen Zhen didn't say it, and she couldn't ask too much with her current identity, so it was better to wait and see.

"Then why won't you let go of your daughter-in-law?"

She tried to break free, but the man grabbed her and threw her against his chest.

"Because..."

Shen Zhen whispered in her ear.

Because Grandpa doesn't want to make a deal.

Grandpa only wants you.
